Science+Fiction+Conventions

Science fiction conventions take place all over the world. There are literally hundreds of conventions. Some take place in large convention halls (think football stadium in size) other are just a few hundred people in a hotel banquet hall (large room). There are only a few conventions specific to one topic; most conventions include actors, artists, authors, games, movies, and other events.

If you've never been to a convention before, you might want to read [|Don't Be That Guy: A Basic Guide to Convention Etiquette] to find out what to expect of fellow science fiction fans and how to act once you're at the convention.

Here is a list of a few conventions specifically focused on Science Fiction Literature. For a complete list of Science Fiction related conventions go to: []. For more detailed information on upcoming conventions, check with Locus Online's [|Convention Lists].
